Dexter, Showtime’s original series about a serial killer with a conscience, will soon be cutting its way into a video game courtesy of Ecko Entertainment.

Next generation video games are all about the cutting edge these days, but Ecko Entertainment took that literally when it announced today that Dexter, Showtime’s popular series about a crime solving serial killer, would be carving its way onto consoles sometime soon.

According to IGN, developer information, price, console specifics and a release date are all “no comment” at this time. However, Marc Fernandez, Vice President of Marc Ecko Entertainment, said his company is working closely with Showtime to keep the game as faithful to the television show as possible. That probably means a heavy dose of bloody plastic sheets and actor Michael C. Hall’s inner monologues.

“Dexter is the extremely rare TV show with enough layers of action and tension to translate perfectly into a compelling videogame,” Fernandez said in a statement. “Our game designers, writers, and artists are going to give Dexter’s morally complex world the kind of interactivity that gamers will love.”
